If you’re shopping for a VPS and trying to pick the OS, it helps to think about what you’ll actually use it for. For example, if you’re doing something like WordPress or typical LAMP stack apps, a stable Linux distro like Ubuntu LTS or CentOS/AlmaLinux works great because the community and docs are strong. If you need Windows apps, yeah obviously Windows Server. Also check whether the VPS or shared hosting provider supports things like snapshots, backups, root access, and how fast their support is. If you tell me your use-case (web hosting, database, gaming server) and budget, I can toss over a couple solid provider + OS combos I’ve personally found good.
